    Caesars - Vegas

    I land tomorrow at 10:45 EST, gonna drop my stuff at Tropicana then head over to Caesars for the day. How long can I expect to wait in line pre kickoff tomorrow at Caesars to get a bet in? I probably wont get there until maybe 30 minutes before kick off. Thanks!

    Usually 10 minutes on a Sunday. The parlay guys are what kills the line. They don’t call out numbers and are scratching their ass and grunting while barely knowing team names. Playing their long shot shit all day.

    They will have a full staff on Sunday and also kiosks on both sides and throughout the property. I go direct to kiosk. Pretty quiet weekend here. Cold by Vegas standards. Maybe Sunday it picks up with early convention goers?! Not sure. The issue with the kiosk is you may be limited on how much you can bet. Should be smooth sailing otherwise.

    Cool. Thanks man! Where I go in Indiana, Your looking at about an hour on a Sunday, with about 25 kiosks and 4 windows. This sounds much easier.

    Ill prolly go to window. If I lose my a$$, I at least wanna drink on the book all day lol

    You might not have seen the commercials but there's an app that you can use and bet from your "smart phone" whatever that is

    These are the guys that will get you.

    Sounds like you will get there in time, but barely. Maybe drop some bets at the Trop, if you think you are pressed for time.

    Just don't stand in line behind Mattress Mack. That count might take a few days.

    I had a huge 40-1 bet on Buster Douglas when he beat Tyson. There were a shit load of people with huge slips. You should have seen that line when they were counting out money. It was sick. Guys got out of there with STACKS.

    If you're running short on time stop at Planet Hollywood. It's a Caesar's property on the same side of the strip as Tropicana and much closer. At least 10 minutes less via Uber, etc. and probably a less busy sports book. Get your tickets then head to Caesar's to watch the games.

    You could also jump across the street to MGM and catch the monorail up to Bally's, Flamingo, Harrah's or Linq to make bets. Linq would be closest to Caesar's but I'm not sure about their book.

    Have fun on your trip Regul8er.

    It has been years since I've been to Vegas, but back when I lived there if you got to the window an hour before kickoff you would be good for sure. If you're running short on time take mtofell's advice and go to a closer property. PHo is the closest caesars' book to the trop. Trop is CG gaming and there are MGM books all around you.

    Caesars' used to always shade NFL totals up half a point so they were a good out for unders, but it was worth shopping elsewhere for overs.

    GL!

    Vegas books are trash. You can't even parlay player props. They are stuck in the past.

    Totally agree and live here. Good for futures and an occasional spot. Thats it. They are so stuck. Books filled with drunk visitors, parlay card guys and old guys beating the table over their 10th straight loss on the horses.

    reasons NOT to do the app

    1) possible w-2g showing taxable winnings if you win
    2) first bet on the app should be the $1250 risk-free bet... if you get the app and don't do this, you're essentially throwing away a one-time chance
    3) even if you're not staying at caesar's, there are tons of other books ON THE SAME STREET
    4) drink tickets
    5) pain in the ass to set up the app, and might have to wait a couple days to cash out at the cage, by then he might be gone

    but i'm sure you know all this

    by the way, i'm never answering another one of your emails... you could at least FUKKING SAY THANK YOU when someone spends their time trying to help you

    They are very generous with their drink tickets

    The down side, is if you’re a liquor drinker, the drink sizes are small cups

    Many books packed with tourists. You will not see professionals watching ball games there.

    You'll know the regular when you see him, the pro.

    He'll have a notebook or maybe ipad, maybe a bag or backpack.

    He'll be quirky as shit, but can tell you who's offering what at what property.

    He knows. He cares. He's still building positions.
